Biographical History

Montgomery C. Meigs was an army officer and engineer. He was born in Augusta, Ga. on May 3, 1816. Meigs graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1836, where he studied civil and military engineering. Meigs was engaged in several federal engineering and surveying projects from 1836 to 1851. Between 1852 and 1860, he was supervising engineer for the Washington Aqueduct and for the U.S. Capitol dome and wings. Meigs served as a brigadier general during the Civil War and participated in the battles of Bull Run and Chattanooga. After the war, he supervised plans for the War Department Building. In a private capacity, Meigs designed his own house, a plan for the National Museum Building of the Smithsonian, and the Pension Building. Meigs married Louisa Rodgers in 1847; they had seven children. Meigs was a regent of the Smithsonian, member of the American Philosophical Society, and an early member of the National Academy of Science. He died in Washington, D.C. on January 2, 1892 and was buried at the Arlington National Cemetery.
